Figure 1 Visualization of a stenosis in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) with whole-heart coronary magnetic resonance angiography. (A) Curved multiplanar reconstruction image shows a stenosis in LAD (white arrow). (B) Volume-rendering method demonstrates 3-dimensional view of LAD with stenosis (white arrow). (C) X-ray coronary angiography reveals a stenosis of proximal LAD (arrowhead).

Figure 2 A patient with stenosis in the left circumflex (LCX) artery. (A) Curved multiplanar reconstruction demonstrates stenoses of LCX in 2 locations (black arrows). (B) Volume rendering method shows 3-dimensional view of LCX with stenoses (white arrows). (C) X-ray coronary angiography of the same artery confirms stenoses of LCX (arrowhead).
